about

This song wasn't on the original album, but I dusted it off and updated some words to be more optimistic.

lyrics

Gave my all no matter the cost.
I wrote to you and you wrote me off.
I guess that's okay
Didn't see me cry the day you left.
You just smiled and turned your head and drove away...

Moving on to bigger, better things
Don't answer the phone when it rings. Not when I call.
And any time you come around, your mom has to tell me that you're in town.
You don't mention it to me at all.

And when they say "Who are you writing all your songs to?"
I cannot say cuz you never wanna hear the truth
When 'no one in particular' is you.

Hope it's nice in Minnesota
You said to visit again if I wanna. But I don't think I will.
The last time I drove all that way, I spent all night til the break of day alone in my hotel.
But when I got in your face, you said you never meant to make me feel that way. And I say no regrets.
I never wanna fall for you again, but you come back around like a seasonal trend.
And I just can't forget.

And when they say "Who are you writing all your songs to?"
I cannot say even though you're not here to hear the truth
When "no one in particular" is you.

Wish I never gave you that stupid mix cd.
Wish I never told you all you meant to me.
Maybe then you wouldn't be so freaked out to see
How good to you I could be.

Sometimes I wonder if the same things that remind me of you, remind you of me. I guess I'll never know.
I've been writing a song or two, but don't worry, they're not about you.
And when you hear me on the radio...

They're gonna ask. "Who are you writing all those songs to?"
And I'll just laugh and say that no one ever wants to hear the truth
When "no one in particular" is you. It was you. That was you...
"No one in particular" was you.

"Alternative and folky, Candace Griffin's music comes straight from the heart. As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more
